These traps have high win/success rates and are from 10 different, popular chess openings! You can win a queen in just 6 moves in some of these openings.

  1. Wow! Im an amateur 1200
    And I can't stop smiling while watching this video!!!
    Thanks again! Keep it up.

  2. imo the evaluation in trap 8 is relatively equal (a knight, bishop + rook for a queen is fair and the whole black’s queen side is wide open)

  3. After watching, I played around 8 games rapid online, and behold, I lost all hahaha
    Igor, I realized most of your scenarios are GAMBIT ACCEPTED. sadly all my opponent DECLINED and I'm lost on what to do . 😂

  4. Trap3 doesn't give you massive advantage with so many pieces being sacrificed. I mean getting the Queen itself gives you only +2. If they don't take the knight, you end up giving them +1. The way you present it, it's a winner. However, in my opinion, you shouldn't get too excited about it, even if it works

  5. Amusing video 🤠 fun tactics for experienced players. Newbies should stay away from these and stick to the basics 😀

  6. I think my smartphone has already watched this video as it falls for none of these traps!

  7. Hey, could you make a video where to cover best lines for both in North or Danish Gambit?

  8. The solution to the puzzle is Qh5+ (IF g6 – Bxg6+) Kd8 forced, and Ba5 pins the queen. The bishop is protected by the queen on a5. Black queen is going to be captured, with check, on the next move.

  9. Hmm. Usually my opponents play pawn 5f instead of knight G5. that stops the whole move

  10. Відчуйте Силу львівского гамбіту курви!)

  11. The first trap doesn’t work, people don’t play the most common moves 😂

  12. You're the best chess teacher of all time 👍👍🙌🙌

  13. I’ve been watching so many chess video lately from other YouTubers to improve my game, and I’m very glad that I found yours.

    I don’t need to watch or search for anything else. There’s lot more to grasp from your lessons.

    Thanks for making these helpful videos.

  14. I'm starting to play chess and my son in law acts like he's better than me but I'm gonna crush him with these openings. Thanks Bwahahahahahahahaha

  15. Knight and bishop, exchange with a queen, is it good?

  16. In trap #2, the Italian game. I’ve played the black opening moves(…Qg5) then it was Bf7+ and completely fouled up the rest of the game. Is there a queen trap continuation that I’m not finding if Bishop takes f7 over the knight?

  17. Love the first four traps, Igor. It was a simple continuation of play that led to the queen being lost
    I'm going to start using these at once.

  18. In trap 1 I rarely see h6, most opponents seem to develop their knight, which usually prevents the attack. I love these strats but so rarely do they line up.

  19. I hate during first when when opponent defends with bishop!

  20. And what if 4… Bg4 ? 5. Qd2 Pxd3 then resume the main line 6. Bxd3 Pe6 7. Nf7 Kxf7 resume 8. Bg6+? Pxg6 9. QxQ Bb4+ threatening black queen unless sacrifice with 10. Qd2. And black has developed three minor pieces (both bishops, one kingside knight) to our queen only. What's the counter to 4….Bg4?

  21. In the last method instead of moving the queen 19:38 , black can up his pawn to a6

  22. i got a theory here,when he dont attck ur night but moved hes night to d5 and u attacked hes pawn and he takes ur night and u sacrifice ur bishop u dont get a free queen bc hes night is in the way

  23. These traps work in small percentage of real world games, unless you know what the opponent's going to do next. Would love to have more diversified variations.

  24. #7 was weird. Are you saying you would not have been better off by just taking the extra queen by promotion?

  25. Qh5+,g6,bxg6+,kd8 forced,ba5 winning the queen

  26. is the trap 1 called the intercontinetal ballistic missile gambit

  27. I love these trappy openings, always leads to interesting games for me. Rarely do they work but people take weird lines and the positions are wild

  28. I love the comment he makes at @18:05 I learn so much watching this man!

  29. Puzzle solution: Qh5+, If opponent plays Kd8 you play Ba5 (protected by the Queen) and you win opponents queen. If they block the check with the pawn, you take if with your light squared bishop, forcing Kd8 where you play Ba5 again and win opponents queen.

  30. white: Queen>H5
    Black:King>D1
    white:Bishop(D2)>A5
    Black:Queen takes Bishop on A5
    White: Queen takes Black Queen on A5

  31. Dr Rovshan Hasanzade - Beekeeper, Nature🌿Lover says:

    In 7:52 why knight does not move to a6 but queen sacrificed itself?

  32. can somebody tell me a move after Nf3-D5,E4-Dxe4,Ng4 after this what if black plays Qd5?
